A mother has said she will never accept the loss of her “baby girl” after she was found dead suffering “unexplained” injuries at her home.

A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of her murder before being bailed by West Mercia police pending further investigation.

In a statement released through the force, Charlotte’s mother Gaynor, said: “In memory of my beautiful, funny, caring, loving daughter - my precious baby girl Charlotte.

“As a mother I never ever expected to have to write something so tragic and heart-breaking as this – my heart is in pieces, and I know many of you who knew Charlotte loved her dearly.

“As most of you know by now my beautiful daughter Charlotte passed away in what I can only describe as completely devastating circumstances.

“The heartache I am enduring at this awful time knows no boundaries. I still cannot and don’t think I ever will accept the loss of my baby girl and best friend.”

Police officers were called to Green Street in Hereford shortly after 5am on Sunday 17 July, following a report of a concern for safety.

When they arrived they found Charlotte suffering “unexplained injuries” and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
